Remo Stars assistant coach, Sulaimon Kamil, credited head coach Daniel Ogunmodede’s "spiritual presence" for their 3-0 victory over Nasarawa United on Matchday 6 of the NPFL. Despite Ogunmodede being away on national duty with the Super Eagles, Kamil emphasized that his influence was felt throughout the match.
The Sky Blue Stars sealed the win with three second-half goals from Sikiru Alimi, Stanley Joseph, and Ismaila Sodiq. Kamil praised the team's performance, especially their resilience in maintaining a clean sheet and scoring all three goals after a goalless first half.
“The three points were hard-fought and a big morale boost for the team. The lads deserve full credit for their efforts," Kamil said. He also noted that Ogunmodede’s match philosophy remained intact, even in his absence. "We didn’t change anything at halftime; we followed his plan and built on the foundation he laid."
Kamil has now overseen two matches in Ogunmodede's absence, both resulting in victories. He expressed his satisfaction with the six points gained from the two games and outlined their aim to accumulate more in the coming matches. "With 12 points before the Nasarawa United game, the goal is to collect 15 points in the next five matches. We've started well with three points, and the chase continues with our next game against Plateau United."
Kamil also praised Sikiru Alimi for breaking his goal drought, scoring his first goal of the 2024/2025 season. "I’m delighted with Alimi’s performance. It’s not easy going five matches without scoring, but now that he’s opened his account, I believe he’ll continue finding the back of the net," Kamil added.
Remo Stars will look to build on this momentum as they prepare for their upcoming fixtures.
